Nothing says summer quite like ice cream. Whether you're enjoying a sunny afternoon in the garden, hosting a family barbecue, celebrating a birthday, or simply treating yourself after a long day, there's something special about turning a simple scoop of ice cream into a dessert worth talking about.
What's even better is that it doesn't take much. A handful of crunchy biscuit crumbs, a drizzle of sauce, or a sprinkle of chocolate can completely transform your favourite flavour and create that ice cream parlour experience at home.
If you're looking for inspiration this summer, here are some of our favourite toppings and sweet additions to try.
Few dessert trends have been as popular in recent years as Biscoff. Once you've tried it with ice cream, it's easy to understand why. If you haven't tried it yet, what have you been doing?!
The signature caramelised flavour works beautifully with just about anything, from classic vanilla to indulgent caramel and other irresistibly rich ice cream flavours. A generous sprinkle of Lotus Biscoff Crumbs adds all-important crunch, while a spoonful of smooth Biscoff spread creates a delicious saucy topping that's packed with flavour. For an easy go-to summer dessert, layer vanilla ice cream with Biscoff crumbs and a drizzle of spread—it's simple, impressive, and always a crowd-pleaser.

Oreo and ice cream has always been a winning combination. The contrast between creamy ice cream and crunchy chocolate biscuit pieces just works!
The brilliant Oreo Small Crushed Cookie Pieces make it incredibly easy to recreate your favourite dessert parlour treats at home, adding both the Oreo cookie and creme, for perfect texture and flavour without any preparation.
For a fuller Oreo experience, some Oreo Minis work brilliantly scattered over sundaes and frozen yoghurt. Classic Oreos, just mini, they're perfect dessert toppers and are adorable.

Summer wouldn't be complete without an ice cream with a Cadbury 99 Flake. For many of us, a Flake sticking out of a soft serve cone invokes memories of seaside trips, summer holidays and chasing after the ice cream van. It's a classic for a reason.
Whether you place a whole Flake into a cone or crumble it over a a few scoops in a bowl, you still get that familiar melt-in-the-mouth chocolate texture that has enhanced ice cream for generations. Sometimes the simplest toppings are still the best.
Ice cream should be fun, especially during summer. If you're creating desserts for children, hosting a party or building an ice cream station for guests, colourful toppings always add a playful element.
Chocolate beans add crunch, sweetness and a splash of colour that makes even the simplest bowl of vanilla ice cream truly exciting. They're also ideal for summer entertaining because they give everyone the chance to personalise their dessert. Kids can make shapes in their ice cream with them, or even take the time to pick out beans of single colour, whatever floats their boat!
Pieces and chunks of chocolate are great additions, too, adding beloved flavours and substance to ice cream in any format. Whether you smash up your favourite bar or add especially made mix-ins, these are a sophisticated ice cream topper, for sure.

One of the biggest food trends right now is experimenting with different flavours and textures, and ice cream provides the perfect base to experiment.
Products such as mochi add a soft, chewy texture that pairs surprisingly well with cold ice cream, while fruity Japanese-inspired treats will introduce completely new flavour combinations to your dessert. The contrast between creamy ice cream and chewy sweets is already adored and creates an experience that's different from the traditional sundae—but just as delicious. If you're hosting friends or family, these are often the toppings that get people talking.
If you're entertaining this summer, one of the easiest ways to impress guests is with a help-yourself sundae station. Rather than deciding on one dessert, simply set out a selection of toppings and an ice cream base, then let everyone create their own masterpieces!
Biscoff crumbs, Oreo pieces, chocolate beans, Flakes, sauces and sweets all work brilliantly, offering different textures and flavours to mix and match. This works just as well for family barbecues as it does for birthday parties and special school holiday treats, and it's a simple way to make dessert entertaining and interactive.
